BlackWidow Essential Wired Gaming Mechanical Razer Green Switch Keyboard with Back Lighting - Black

I really, really like clicky keyboards. This was works great, functions the way it's supposed to. When you plug it in, it will download software from Razer to register and allow customization. I'm not too big on it, so I haven't really messed with it. I would've liked to grab the RBG one, but at the end of the day, I don't stare at my keyboard so I don't think I'd really appreciate the colors flying by. Green is nice, it's not aggressive. If you like mechanical keyboards and either don't mind or really like the clicky sound/feel, this will be good. I also have a keyboard with MX Brown switches, and these offer a little more resistance to the key strokes. Does NOT have a detachable cord, which would've really been nice but it's not common yet. Purchased for I believe around $55 for deal of the day.

If you want a Mechanical Keyboard w/some glow without dropping a chunk of change, I would say this is worth it. I got it on sale so even better. If feels great typing and love the green. You can't change the colors on the keyboard and it's wired, but you don't have to worry about batteries so there's that. When you type it is louder than most mechanical keyboards that I've tried. Overall i would say this is a good buy.

Amazing Keyboard but it is very loud but since I use headphones I do not usually hear it but outer then that it is nice feels like input delay easy to use hard to hit wrong keys also a nice green color that be adjusted so that it is brighter or not as bright depending how you like/want it

This is my second mechanical keyboard. I already had BlackWidow, but not "Essential" version. I found that this one is much cheaper and has clicky keyboard. I do not know exactly what's the difference between this "Essential" one and the other BlackWidow wired with green switch, except color LED in the latter. But basically it looks like the same with green switch. I recommend it if you are looking for clicky keyboard but not interested in color LED (I just turn it off) They say that I need to install their program to control the keyboard, but I can use it without the program and turn LED off from Fn key.

Very nice mechanical keyboard if you can get it on sale. Looks nice and feels great to the touch. Kids use it regularly and are converted to mechanicals.

This is a great keyboard for gaming. My son has used it for a long time and now I have it in the office and I love it.

Loving it for the price. You have to keep its program open to stop the light from breathing setting. It has two different height settings for stand/clips on bottom. Feels real responsive. Keys are super loud according to the woman rofl.

The overall design of the keyboard is fine, but the over reliance on the software to manage/apply settings, even when rebooting the keyboard returns to defaults, limits its usefulness. I find it extremely annoying to deal with the default 'Breathing' lighting scheme, the light slowly fades on and off, so that I cannot consistently see the keys in poor lighting unless I am running a supported OS. Also the keycaps do not allow backlighting for the shifted key codes, none of the shifted value from the number/function keys for example, so again you cannot see them in poor lighting. A replacement keycap set is available for $29.00 but the design seems a bit cheap. Overall I will not purchase another Razer keyboard.
